Although ninny of the cleverest actresses
the world has known have es
rayed the part, they have, with few
exceptions, faicd in it.
Kveii Sarah Shldons, probably the
greatest tragic actress of all time, was
a failure as Hamlet, largely owing to
the n oudescript nature of her garments,
which were neither masculine nor feminine
ami whien made it almost impossible
to forget that her Hamlet was a
woman and not a man, says I.omlon
Tit Hits.
charlotte Cuslunau was perhaps the
most brilliant player of nude parts of
her or, indeed, of any other generation.
Site was equally brilliant and eonvlncing
as Hotneo, Cardinal Wolsey or
Claude Melnotte, hut when she made
the crucial experiment of playing the
melancholy Hone even she proved
unequal to the task. In fact, her Hamlet
"was so badly received in Dublin
that she there and then made tip her
mind never to play it again.
And yet her Konteo was such a trltunpn
of acting that James Sheridan
Knowles, tlio groat dramatist and critic,
was completely carried away by it.
Of her acting of the passage where Hotneo
flings himself upon the ground,
"taking the measure of an unmade
grave." he says; "It was a scene of top
most passion, not simulated passion;
no such thing?real, palpably real. The
genuine lieart storm was on in its wihlest
fullness of fury, and I listened and
gazed and held my breath, while my
blood ran hot and cold. I am sure it
must have been the ease with every
one in the house, hut I was all absorbed
in Romeo till a thunder of applause
recalled me to myself."
And of her assumption of the difficult
part of Claude Melnotte in "The hady
of T.yons" Justin McCarthy says: "I
have seen Claude Melnotte played by
many great actors, from Maeready to
Irving, hut Miss Cushmau eclipsed
them all. She created for me the only
human, the only possible and the only
endurable Claude Melnotte I have ever
seen."
Miss Julia Seaman, a once popular
neiress, was so severely criticised when
she played Hamlet some years ago that
she turned round on her critics and assailed
them In a very vigorous maimer.
The late Miss Marriott, who had one of
the most beautiful voices ever heard on
nny stage, wns more fortunate, although
It was one of her least successful
assum >tiouH, ami In the fifties an
American actress. Miss Percy Knowles,
made such nti unfortunate exhibition
of herself as the melancholy one that a
country manager actually Issued a notice
warning his patrons against goiiiR
to see her.
Ellen Tree (Mrs. Diaries Kenn) was
the first to put on Hamlet's doublet
and hose; Mrs. Olover won Edmund
Kcnn's approval by her playing of the
part, and Mmo. Sarah Bernhardt gave
a picturesque and clever rendering of
Hamlet, although It was not to he compared
with many of her brilliant assumptions.
Charlotte Crnmpton was noted for
her clever acting of masculine parts,

meyy^v^red to try their skill against her
" on the stage, and she was undoubtedly I
a genius In her way, with a courage i
commensurate with her skill.
She was one of the finest person a tors

her Shylock was among the most brll- <

she was almost equally clever as Iago,- 1

yet when Charlotte Crampton chal- 1
leuged criticism with Hamlet she fall- '
cil as signally as her rival, Charlotte
C'nshman, had done.
Probably the most successful of all
lauy minuets was Anna Dickinson,
who maile considerable reputation as
Macbeth and Claude Melnotte. "A
number of women have trle<l Hamlet,"
she said. "None, I believe, with any
success. Yet, in my opinion, the character
of Hamlet Is eminently suited for
a woman's capabilities. Hamlet was
very young?a mere college boy. In i
fact. Resides, a fine actress Is more
likely to bring out the wonderful womanlike
delicacy of Hamlet's character
than a very young actor." And she
supported her views by giving an attractive
vnd clever rendering of the
part.
Crinoline.

a reference to "the new stuff called
crinoline." Crinoline was partly thread,
partly horsehair. Its name being compounded
of the French "crin," horsehair,
and "lin," flax. Hats, skirts and
all sorts of things that were wanted to
possess a certain stiffness were made
of tills material.

full tiling. Seen at nlglit, a flash of

as an illumiiiant than moonlight. As a
matter of fact the duration of one of

of them in succession could be crowded

one flash could last hut a tenth of a

With n flnrtl squeal from the flrst
< iuiiu, tmii uppurentiy xuneu nnru, rue t
orchestra broke into a rippling over* r
ture and the nsbestus curtain rose up- j
on the painted one beneath.
An usher slammed down iho scat J
beside Elizabeth and laid a programme <
on It; then ho handed the seat check I
to Its owner and slid away.
When you have broken your engagement
with a man the night be- f
fore, after a stormy discussion, It Is ^
not the happiest surprise in the world
to And him seated beside you at the
matinee, where yon have gone t*? kill (
time and forget yourself. i
Elizabeth bowed stiffly. :
The man responded with equal
frigidity.
She read her programme with absorbing
interest. It was continuous i
vaudeville. ? ?
"I had no Idea," said the man nt j
last, "that you would be here or 1"?
"My movements need not interfere
with yours, Mr. dayden," said Elizabeth
icily.
She grew still more absorbed In her
programme.
A tlnnr ..'.1 I.. .1 in
4ft uvui UIU umtt , n liu W illfi WUM'il
and gold rimmed glasses, sat down
with u thud In the sent on Elizabeth's
left and turned a delighted smile on
the girl.
"Well, I deelnre," she cried, "If It
ain't Hosslo Mclntyre! Law me?the
very last person on earth I was thinkIn*
of seoin*. IIow are you, dear?
And how's your mother?" My son
brought mo up to town yesterday for
a little visit. He got seats for the
show here today, and he's coinin' for
me soon's his otHee hours are over,
^ln't that Nick (Jnyden lieside you?
Ilowdy, Nick? You haven't changed a
mite since you left (Jirton. I'm real
glad to see you."
She stretched a black gloved hand
ncross Elizabeth, and Nick was forced
to shake li smilingly.
"yVefl?well?well," said the old
fady, "to think of my meetiu' yon all
here. And we were Just tnlkln' about
you lK>tli last night. See her blush,"
she chuckled to Nick, as the <iulck
crimson spread over Elizabeth's face.
"I hear yon'ro to be married. Yes,
Indeed?we hear things In country, too,
and, of course, since you ail's families
used to live in Glrton, everybody's Interested
In you. Well, well! I wish
you all the happiness In the world, my
dear?and you'll need it. Marriage Is
i mighty risky thing. And the weddln'
Is to he in the spring, I hear. That's
good. June and brkles and roses sorter
belong together." She stopped for
breath.
"We are not"? began Elizabeth. She
hit her Hps and began again. "We
have"?
"We have decided nothing definitely,"
Nick Interrupted easily.
"That right," the old lady agreed;
"hold on to vour swcethcartlM* n? Innr*
as you pan. It's mighty nice playln', i
and It only comes once in a lifetime." t
Elizabeth smiled In spite of herself. f
"Some girls nre engaged three or four
times, Mrs. Barton," she suggested. 1
"Oh, Jus* fly-up-the-creeks," said Mrs. t
Barton comfortably, "not nice, sincere, i
honest girls like you that know, the i
right man and stick to him when they j
find htm. I said the minute I heard of 1
your engagement: 'Now, there's a prop- 1
er match. Both of 'em y^vng. l?oth of j
'em handsome, well olT, g* 1 tempered,
sensible and steady. Show mo u bet- 1
ter, Josiah,' says I." <
"I ought to tell you. Mrs. Barton," 1
said Elizabeth, with a rush. "You're <
mistaken. I'm not"? !
The curtain went tip noisily. "Shucks, ]
honej*," Mrs. Barton whispered, "you're <
too modest?now don't talk to me. I 1
haven't seen n show In three years." ]
Elizabeth turned to Nick with a furious
whisper.
"This can't go on."
"What are you going to do?" he asked
stiffly.
"Tell her"?
"1 won't."
"It's perfectly absurd."
Nick shrugged his shoulders.
"S-s-s-h!" Mrs. Barton cried In a Jocu
in niim]icr. 'i mi ll nnve time enough
to tnllc to each other all your lives. <
Keep quiet now."
After an unhappy half hour the white <
curtain of the vltograph rolled down, 1
and Mrs. Barton turned to the girl
again.
"I can't look at those things," she
said; "hurts my eyes. Now tell me
some more about yourselves?makes me
feel right old to think of your two children
goln' to get married. Law me!
I remember the time you wan't no higher
than my knee. You were the worst
youngster In the county, Nick, and
Bessie wan't far behind you. And,
law, how you used to hate each other!
Many's the time I've seen her pull that
tow hair of yours."
"It Isn't"? began Elizabeth' Impetuously.
"Ph. yes," Mrs. Barton laughed, "It
always was tow. and It still Is."
Nick grlnm-d cheerfully.
Aim lliru JUII U MKf nPF Dy HPr little
skinny wrists unci bold her off," went
on the old lady, "till she was Jus' like a
ragln* little cat, rlnwln* and furrln'."
"She's still that was' sometimes," said
Nick, smilingly.
Elizabeth gasped furiously.
"Nick Gayden!" she cried.,
"Law me," said Mrs. Barton, "I knew
it, honey, without his tellln' me! What's
bred In the boos? But yon all always
r - ~
nnde It up then, nnd you always will.
[ know that too." 1
"I hope so," Nick assured her ear-. .
' : ."'V <*.
Elizabeth looked straight in front of
ier.
"You were pointedly made for each
Stber. Where you goln' on your honeymoon?"
' "We had thought of California," said '
S'lek quietly, while the girl beside him
winced.
"That's right," Mrs. Barton agreed.
'See your own country first nnd heath>n
lands afterward. And who're your
H-klesmalds to he, Bessie?"
Elizabeth hesitated miserably. Mrs.
[larton's words wore liko?alt In a new
lit. They had discussed tfielr plans so
inpplly, nnd now that It was all over,
he could not forget It. She waited,
Ike a coward, for Nick, but he sat quite
illent.
"Your sister, of course?" said Mrs.
Finrton. **
"Oh, It's all"? Elizabeth stopped.
"All undecided," the old lady suggested.'
"I s'pose so. But June Is only three
months off now. fSoin' to h uisokeenln' !
itterwnrd or goin* to board?"
"Housekeeping." said Nick curtly.
"The curtain Is going up again,"
Nick added hastily.
Elizabeth snt In comparative peace
through the rest of the programme.
yhPH the last performer came to tlie
front of the stage?a boyish looking
nuin In the conventional evening dress
of the vaudeville songster. The orrhfcstrn
preluded softly for a moment,
iriVl over the darkened theater the
nian's voice rang out Infinitely rich
ond deep:
"Oh, 'twas sweet of old, when our
love we told"?
"Asthore," whispered Mrs. Barton delightedly.
,The beautiful voice sobbed and
4a'ivk. and rose again with the plaintive
cry of the song and the last waling
chord:
"I am waiting for thee, astliore,"
lied away into n perfect silence. There
ivaa a thunder of applause. ~
''You used to sing that," Mrs. Barop
whispered to Nick, "the year after
rou finished college. I guess Bessie
cmembers it. You sang It at my
touse one night?don't vou know. Bps
del"
'ri?I?yes. I think I do," snid a
ivretched nnd uncertain Elizabeth.
The man on the stage sang the last
jars of the song again.
"Elisabeth," said Nick, very low.
Elizabeth turned, startled nt the
tudden call, nnd the eyes she lifted
tvere heavy with tears.
"A8thore," said Nick, lower still.
Then he helped her Into her coat
uid wrung licr hand beneath its sheltering
folds.
Mrs. Barton bestowed a parting
jenediction on them.
"I'ni real glnd I've seen you," she
inld, beaming. "Cilve my love to your
nother, Bessie, uiul don't forget to
lend me my invitation to the- wedlln*."
\
"It shall be the llrst one sent out,
lenr. Mrs. Barton?" said Elizabeth happily.

Barton and the "Arabian Klshta."
Sir Richard Burton made $50,000 out
jf his translation of the "Arabian
S'ights." When after alxjut liftecn
rears' labor he completed this valuable
jook he submitted it to a number of
mhllshers, nnd no one would ofTer him
uorc than $2,500 for It. lie was about
o accept these terms when his wife
tald:
"Let mo publish this work for you,
[tichnrd. To print and hind nnd put on
he market a set of books surely enulot
be a superhuman undertaking. Let
no try It. The publishers don't offer
rou n fair price. Let us, then, bnlk
hem, and If any profit Is to be made
'roni all your lalior let us and not the
inhllshers enjoy It."
Sir ltlcliard consented. Ills wife set
:o work. Slie Rot estimates from paper
dealers, from printers, from binders.
She found that to publish her husband's
:ranslation sumptuously would require
?30,000. At first she was appalled.
Rut she managed somehow to get sufficient
capital together, and ultimately
the "Arabian Nights" came out The
Burtons made $50,000. _

preparations to build a now church
eeelvod all kinds of advice from parishioners,
and the greatest amount
cartie from those who had contributed
the least toward the erection of the
church. Ho at the regular services on
the following Sunday he said:
"I have been receiving lota of advice
during the last few weeks. I have
been, told by certain members of the
congregation that It will not do to
have too many fingers In the pie. I
can assure you that I will attend to
that part of It. There will be no pie."
